Que's Journey begins

I feel like sh** today, each limb feels like it weighs 100 lbs. Unfortunately that's normal for me. *sigh* To top it off I woke up craving chocolate.

I weighed myself this morning - twice - and both times the scale showed 158.5 and if that's really really true it means I've lost a couple of lbs. this past week as I normally gain 3-5 during menstruation. If I didn't feel so bad I might be able to get excited over that.

Note to self: Hang in there 'cause it'll be ok

It seems that last night I forgot to cook chicken for today's lunch........ so I have grapes, green beans, peanuts, almonds and a bell pepper in my tote. I may not eat all of that but it's there......It's gonna be a long day.

Do you like tuna?

I always keep a few cans in my desk drawer (I forget all the time too!)

I also keep a few cans of the Stallone protein pudding at work - there is a lot of sodium in it, but 1 can = 100 cals , 20g protein, 1 carb , 1 fat.

I feel like crap. With the pizza binge at lunch and everything else I feel like a balloon that's only remaining on the ground because it's a high gravity day or all the iron in my blood went to lead in my a** and I can't lift off.

Most of the time I take the stairs at work unless I'm going all the way to the 3rd floor from the basement and then it's the elevator. Today after lunch I felt so stupid for what I ate that not only did I take the stairs all the way up - but I skipped a stair each time so it was like doing lunges all the way up. I have to mow the yard in about an hour and I might even mow the neighbors.........

I think posting in this journal seems to motivate me and helps to keep me focused. It's "written down" so it "must be so."

Well the weekend was a nightmare & yesterdat wasn't much better. All in all I did pretty good on food. I didn’t get my water in and now that it’s getting colder I know I’m going to have a problem with that. I didn’t exercise much this weekend but I did spend Saturday mowing, raking & shoveling and then I rode my bike for 7 miles. Sunday was mopping, scrubbing, laundry, etc.. No exercise on Monday night as I had a visitor and I'm not sure about tonight because I have to get the truck cleaned up for the potential buyer.

I started using the reminder feature on my cell phone to buzz me when it’s time to eat or take a supplement and it’s working pretty well.

I dropped the Relacor because I should have been able to tell a difference while taking it and there was none. Imagine something like this not working.

After a discussion with my physician and the nutritionist my supplements are now as follows:

Flax - 2 per day morning & evening
Calcium 600mg - in the evening instead of early morning
Multi-vit – morning
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) - 50mg- Morning. Dosage will increase at a later date
L-Carnitine – 3x day, 30 min before meals, to be changed to Acetyl-L-Carnitine at a later date.

I can tell the difference after just a few days of the supplement changes. I have more energy and I don't have to wear socks to bed now. I've had to wear socks to bed for-ever!

I’ll be posting food a bit later in the day, right now I'm looking for the switch that stops the world from spinning.....I wanna get off for awhile.

EF thanks for e-motivating me!

1 hard boiled egg - white only (the dog (Max) ate the yolk )
20 oz coffee w/splenda & 2 tsp. ff creamer

*I put the blueberries in 2/3 c water and microwave for 1 min, then I add the cream of wheat and microwave again - the berries plump up after you nuke them.

Planned activities for the evening:
3:30 pm 'ish - run my ascii off getting the truck cleaned out, washed, gased up and ready for the potential buyer to fork over some bling and drive away while making me a very happy camper.

I need to mow the yard but I don't know if I'll have time tonite.
